12-900 Triple Scale Hydrometer

Hydrometer (also called a saccharometer): The simplest and most important piece of test equipment you can get, this instrument is used to measure the density of beer wort and wines, as compared to the density of water. To take a reading, simply take a sample of your wine or beer and float the hydrometer in it. When there are sugars present (before fermentation) the hydrometer will float higher in the more dense liquid. After fermentation, the sugars are converted to alcohol, so the hydrometer sinks further down. The difference in these readings allows you to determine the % alcohol in the finished product. It also helps you determine if the fermentation is complete. A hydrometer test jar is useful for holding the sample, and it allows you to see the readings on the side of the hydrometer.
